My Mother is the Villain

Chapter 12: Identity

Victor enjoyed training on the chair. He had indeed gained enlightenment.

Several confusing aspects of the Heavenly Lightning Merit Law became clear to him with ease.

Minute by minute, his understanding increased.

He couldn’t open his eyes during the entire process of enlightenment.

It lasted for more than thirty minutes—but the improvement was significant.

He could even absorb a large amount of Spiritual Energy.

In the end, what he thought would take thirty minutes turned into three hours.

[Realm: Houtian]

[Spiritual Energy: 2,000/3,000]

[Spiritual Energy Accumulation: 3,000]

[Body Realm: Houtian]

[Merit Law:]

Tyrannical War Body (Heaven Class >10%)

Heavenly Lightning (Heaven Class >15%)

Victor was quite surprised when he opened his eyes.

5% in Heavenly Lightning and 500 Spiritual Energy—more than he had expected.

He was now closer to the Xiantian Realm.

Once he reached that realm, dealing with the light-blue-haired girl would no longer be a problem.

He didn’t see Alisa, while Emma was still sitting on the sofa.

"Young Master, it seems you’ve gained another stroke of fortune. If you’re hungry, we can head to the back room. Alisa has prepared dinner for you," Emma said gently.

"So she actually cooked?" Victor was surprised to hear that.

Of course, simply ordering someone to cook didn’t count as evil in the System’s eyes. He hadn’t received any reward for it.

"It seems she still knows how to compromise," Emma replied.

"Good. She needs to understand that being a senior doesn’t place her above others," Victor said as he stood and walked toward the back room.

Emma was slightly surprised by his words, becoming more aware that this young master was just like his mother.

All this time, he had only acted harmless because he hadn’t been able to develop his personal strength.

On the dining table, a full meal had already been prepared—meat, toasted bread, and grape juice.

Despite being cooked some time ago, everything was still warm. Cultivators could easily preserve food by infusing it with a bit of Spiritual Energy.

"This isn’t poisoned, right?" Victor asked.

"Uh..." Emma felt awkward hearing that.

She examined it carefully before shaking her head.

"No, it’s safe. That woman wouldn’t dare poison you, Young Master," she said.

Hearing that, Victor sat down and began eating.

The taste wasn’t something he would praise, but he didn’t find it bad either.

"By the way, Young Master, there’s something interesting..." Emma said.

"What is it?" Victor asked.

From her expression, it seemed to be something important.

"Bryce contacted me. He said he could help you obtain a Heavenly Lightning."

"Oh..." Victor set down his fork upon hearing that.

"Emma, do you know that man?"

"It’s not like with Liam—we were from the same batch at the Heaven Emperor Academy. Bryce is a few years senior to me. As far as I know, he’s brutal and cruel. He’s also narrow-minded, but his vicious side is only directed at those he considers weaker. You, of course, are stronger, so he only wants to serve you."

"I see. Then how does he plan to get a Heavenly Lightning for me?"

"He said Lukas Hernandez has one."

"He..." Victor didn’t expect to hear that name again, even though he hadn’t seen him yet.

"Lukas is only a young disciple, but it seems he has offended Bryce," Emma said.

"Perhaps Bryce sees him as a potential threat. Even now, he’s already in the Sovereign Realm. Ryan, the young genius of the Russell Clan, is far behind him."

Even Liam, a senior disciple of this sect, was in the same realm—though he was already close to breaking through to the Great Sovereign Realm.

But having the same realm despite a large age gap clearly showed a significant difference in talent.

"Did he tell you how to rob Lukas?" Victor asked.

Emma was slightly stunned by that, not expecting Victor to jump straight to robbery.

"Not yet... I think he’ll tell you if you meet him tomorrow."

"Alright..." Victor nodded.

"By the way, do you know that girl from earlier?"

Victor was curious about her background, as even the Sect Master had shown her respect.

The Sect Master was said to be a disciple of the Grand Ancestor. That kind of relationship was no different from parent and child. Even if the girl were the daughter or granddaughter of the Grand Ancestor, such excessive respect shouldn’t be necessary.

"No one talks about it, but I have a suspicion," Emma replied.

"What is it?"

"She might be the daughter of the Thunder Monarch—the first World Monarch of this sect. During the Thunder Monarch’s era, there was a great crisis in this world. It’s said that he and his wife sealed their young daughter to protect her from it. There has never been any record of that daughter being released. I suspect that girl might be her, because she carries a special presence—something only the children of World Monarchs possess."
